"Is there anything we can do to help?" The police officer looked at Chen Ge, who was frowning in thought, and leaned over to join him.
The visitors all hoped that Chen Ge would be able to lead them out. The mission given to them by the park manager had been forgotten. How was the saying again? When you are away from home, you can't just follow your orders.
"The Twelve Zodiac Signs might be a code. This scenario does not rely on luck but the ability to solve puzzles. As long as we can solve the secret of the Twelve Zodiac Signs, we'll be able to tell which room is safe and which room is hiding the murderer. " After Chen Ge said that, his tone changed. "Unfortunately, the central computer has a large database. The puzzles created by it are hard for me to solve with my power."
"So, it still depends on luck?"
"The information that I can come up with is very little." Chen Ge showed the group the detective books that he had found. The time of death and the victim's name were scribbled on the pages with red dye.
"Assuming the information on the pages is real, it means that the murders will happen during these few hours, and the location will be inside this hostel. The murders that have already happened are nothing to be afraid of, but the clock on the hostel's wall runs backwards, so all the murders might happen again inside this hostel. " Chen Ge raised one finger. "This is a new cycle, and the time that has been reversed is the knife that hangs above our heads. The murders that have already happened are more like a warning, a warning of our death."
Opening his palm, Chen Ge placed the pages on the bar counter. "There are seven pages, corresponding to the seven of us. Each of us has a time of death, and when the time is up, the executioner will appear, and that person will die."
Hearing Chen Ge's analysis, the few visitors started to panic.
"When we entered this place, it was 3 am, and now it is 2: 52 am. The last murder on the pages happened at 2: 50 am, and the cause of death was dismemberment by a saw." Chen Ge put the pages away. "Now we have two choices. One, we personally kill one of our teammates. That way, there will be six of us left, and the executioner who will execute the seventh won't appear."
"Personally kill a teammate, that's not something you can say." The man with the glasses refused.
"The other option is for all of you to listen to me." Chen Ge did not give the other visitors time to think. He put away the seven pages. "There is one minute left until 2: 50 am. This is our last chance. Other than the guest rooms, there is nowhere else to hide, so we can only escape into the rooms. Now, all of you stand on the left staircase, and I will open the first door on the right staircase."
"After opening the door, there are only two possibilities. If there's a murderer inside the door, I'll run over to meet up with you. If we keep our distance from the murderer, he won't be able to do anything to us. If there aren't any homicidal maniacs in the sect, then run over here immediately and meet up with me. We'll hide in that room first and wait until the first execution time is over. "
"Alright, I agree." The bespectacled man and the youngest boy spoke decisively. Chen Ge had taken on all the risks and was the person closest to the danger. They had no reason to object.
Time was limited, so both parties moved immediately. The six visitors stood at the left stairwell, watching Chen Ge. Chen Ge opened the door to the right stairwell alone.
"No one?"
Chen Ge waved at the group, and all the visitors ran over. After they all entered the guest room, the sound of a door opening echoed down the quiet corridor.
"The murderer is coming out!"
The six visitors all held their breath. Only Chen Ge walked to the door alone. With his Ghost Ear, he confirmed the room where the murderer was hiding based on the sound of the door opening.
As if to scare the visitors, heavy footsteps and the sound of a chainsaw came from the end of the corridor. The person did not seem to know where the visitors were hiding and wandered aimlessly around the hotel. Then the sound disappeared into another room.
"He didn't return to his room?"
The door closed, and the visitors all sighed in relief. Chen Ge, however, thought this was weird. "Is this scenario really a test of luck? The murderer only opens one door at a time, and it's up to the visitors to find the unlocked corridor first or the murderer to find the room the visitors are hiding in? No, hellish difficulty can't be that easy. "
Chen Ge started to study the room. There were many things in the room. There was a mannequin that was missing an arm hanging in the corner. The floor under the body could be moved, but it was locked by a large lock.
Poker cards were placed on the table next to the hidden corridor. Each card had an English letter written on it, and it appeared to be a puzzle.
There was a document placed inside the wooden table's drawer. The word 'will' was written on the cover, but when one opened it, they realized that the will only had one sentence — 'If I die, it will not be suicide.'
The room was not big, but it was decorated as a puzzle room.
"Should we stay here to find the truth?" The police officer looked at the things inside the room. Everything seemed to be related to solving the puzzle.
"Searching for the truth is the job of the police. I'm just a volunteer." Chen Ge looked at the time. This scenario required solving the puzzle, and it would take up a lot of time, but he did not plan to waste any more time.
This visit had indeed taught him many things, and it had given him a better understanding of the power of the futuristic theme park. It was impressive that they could do so well in a field that they were not familiar with.
Only by facing the opponent head-on would there be a chance to surpass them. This was one of Chen Ge's strengths; he would never underestimate anyone.
"Time to relax is over. Let's get to work."
The few visitors did not notice the change that had happened to Chen Ge. They continued to follow behind Chen Ge.
"This room is marked as safe. Now, we can go and open the other door and follow what I said earlier." Chen Ge had all the visitors run to the left corridor while he stood on the right. After everyone was in position, he reached his hand into his backpack to flip through the comic.
"Finally, there's no need to hide anymore." The reason Chen Ge had all the visitors run to the left while he stood on the right was because the corridor on the right was closer to the hotel door. The visitors would not be able to see what was happening on this side of the corridor, and Chen Ge would be able to communicate with the Foul Odor Red Specter at the door in the visitors' blind spot.
"The exit has been sealed. It's time to make him despair."
The hotel door was already open. Chen Ge nodded at Foul Odor with a smile.
A pungent stench floated in the air. Everyone could hear the sound of water dripping. Blood splashed on the floor, and it left a ghastly trail behind it.
The Red Specter Foul Odor Red Specter released his presence without restraint. Soon, everyone realized that something was wrong, and they all turned to stare at the hotel counter.
Several seconds later, a fat monster wearing a red shirt walked out from the counter!
"What … what is that?" Xiao Ling screamed, and all the 'visitors' 'heart jumped.
"Chen Ge! Behind you! Look behind you! "
Chen Ge, who had just walked out from the visitors' blind spot, lifted his head, and he saw the monster. His face blanched instantly, and he gritted his teeth and started to run.
"Run!"
He was fast, but he could not outrun the monster behind him. He had nowhere to run. In the end, before the other visitors' eyes, he pushed open one of the doors and hid inside it.
At that moment, something even scarier happened. The scary monster followed him into the room.
Then, two screams came from inside the room! One came from Chen Ge, and the other belonged to a stranger.
Before the visitors could figure out what was happening, the scary monster had already run out and charged at them!
"What is this?"
The visitors scattered, and no one noticed that the door to the room that Chen Ge had run into earlier was slowly closing.
"This is going better than I expected." Chen Ge looked at the unconscious actor and smiled like a child.
He memorized the room that the murderer was hiding in and led Foul Odor's Red Specter to rush in.
The actor, who wanted to scare the visitors, heard the door open, and he rushed in excitedly. However, before he could pose, he saw Foul Odor's Red Specter standing behind Chen Ge.
The scream of pain came from him. To fool the other visitors, Chen Ge cooperated and screamed as well.
The two collapsed to the ground, but the actor was really unconscious, and Chen Ge used this opportunity to look around the room. After confirming that there were no surveillance cameras, he stood up and closed the door.
"The surveillance cameras at the futuristic theme park are everywhere. I can't do anything I want, but things are different now."
Chen Ge took off his jacket and took out the comic from his backpack. Then he removed the killer's jacket and mask and put them on himself.
"Let me show you how to act as a murderer."
Putting away the comic and recorder, Chen Ge helped the actor put his own jacket on him. Then he dropped the empty backpack next to the actor's head and took off his watch to help the actor put it on.
After everything was ready, Chen Ge picked up the electric saw and kicked the door open.
